Per tweets (@4DsolutionsPDX) I'm advocating Oregon high school (Silicon Forest) computer math (the subject) include Vector, Polyhedron and Permutation types, as a starting place. Python is not assumed but is a reference language for some of us Silicon Foresters [0]. I've long had all the necessary demo software at cp4e.html and other places, but then the Vaults of Parnassus are vast (speaking figuratively, not about any specific cheese shop) so in terms of demos, we're not short on supplies. My suggestion is not that people use my Python code directly (though I make it available), but see these as the types of object anyone might build just to see how they tick. Then swap them around and use many versions, what open free software is all about. This Jupyter Notebook [1], hacked out yesterday, prototypes some of the lambda calc track I sketch out in my video [2] i.e. we'll be traversing a different patch than the calculus continuous math vista. This is a whole new way to earn math credit. Teachers will find it inspiring to be able to innovate in a space largely open for green field development, though we'll pull from the college-level literature. 'Mathematics for the Digital Age' traverses this new territory, as do the pages on crypto at my teaching website.[3] The Vector, Polyhedron and Permutation are each "hour of code" type types, meaning we get through the essentials in an hour or less and then turn to using them as instances in our applications.
